The new garage in Corris has put up its Christmas decorations …

… which includes a train in the office window!

Tuesday, 8.12.2020. Dick is occasionally warming himself …

… with (amongst other things) the debris from the rotten floor of the P Way van …

… which is not easy to access once the floor has gone!

Bill buffs the buffers of the Heritage Waggon frames …

… while Bob distracts Chris, milling parts for track jacks.

Thursday, 10.12.2020. Tony undercoats the drawbar for the Heritage Waggon underframes …

… before moving on to prime the track jacks completed to date.

Meanwhile, Adrian has been providing a light source to work within the P Way van (cleaning the steelwork) …

… but then decides to clean up his act …

… before being joined by Tony to paint the completed underside of the Drop Side Waggon body in primer.

Monday, 14.12.2020. It looks like the elves have been working overtime! The Winter Corris-Pondents etc. have arrived with Alf! (No guessing what he will be doing later on).
